Hi everyone, it’s Jenna again. Banana babe had her consultation today and got some good news! She was found to have only an ACL tear with the remaining knee ligaments still intact She does still need an ACL repair surgery which will cost $4000 plus medications, post-op visits and possibly physical therapy - so I will be keeping the initial goal of $5000 to hopefully cover all of Banana’s expenses. Thank you all so much for the generous donations and for sharing Banana’s story with your friends and family! ♥️

Hi everyone, my name is Jenna, and I’m creating this fundraiser for a sweet little pup who is in a great deal of pain after a significant injury to one of her back legs. Her mom Brandi is worried sick about her, so I’m hoping to help make this stressful situation a little less straining, both emotionally and financially. Please consider making a small donation to assist Naner in getting the surgery and aftercare that she needs at this time. Please keep reading for a message from Brandi herself! ♥️

Hi, I’m Brandi, and if you know me, you know just how much my dogs mean to me! They are my children. I adopted Banana a little over a year ago, and I fell in love with her instantly. Like many second children, she is absolutely nothing like her brother, Caesar: She is sassy, the queen of the side eye, loves to snuggle, but is not afraid to wack you with her paws if you stop petting her for more than one second.

Recently Naner fully ruptured her back cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus, along with some other crucial ligaments in her knee. She is having difficulty walking and is unable to use the stairs to and from our second floor apartment without being carried - she weighs 60lbs and, as you can imagine, this is not an easy thing to do!

Frankly, with the upcoming holidays and the unexpectedness of her injury, money is unfortunately tight. While I normally struggle with asking for help, I cannot bear to see her in so much pain. She the sweetest little floof and honestly, she is my best friend! Any funds donated will go directly toward her surgery, medications, and post surgery check ups.

Thank you in advance to everyone! Each and every donation means the world to me and my Naner Girl!
